"I might be tone-deaf..." Karaoke songs that are easy to sing even for those who aren't good at singing (241–250)
Let's be happyTsuyoshi Nagabuchi
The 36th single “Let’s Be Happy” stands out with its soulful choral work in the opening.
It’s the song Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi performed when he made his first appearance on the music program Music Station, and its message of pledging eternal love to a partner really stirs the heart.
Thanks to its simple melody, low key, narrow vocal range, and a very relaxed tempo, it’s quite approachable for karaoke.
However, the rhythm in the A section can be tricky to catch, so if you want to stick closely to the original feel, be sure to learn it well before singing.
travelerGReeeeN
The bright, rhythmic song is GReeeeN’s track “Tabibito.” It’s very easy to sing and has a fast tempo, so even if you’re slightly off the beat, it’s hard to notice.
With its clean, refreshing feel, it’s a karaoke song that people from the young to the middle-aged and older can enjoy singing.
That's important.Daiji MAN Brothers Band
This was the third single by Daijiman Brothers Band, released in August 1991.
At first, it was used as the ending theme for TV Asahi’s program “Sports Frontier,” and it didn’t become a hit at that time.
However, when it started being used as the theme song for Fuji TV’s “Hono-chan no Yamada Katsutenai TV,” it became a major hit.
The song itself is an upbeat, energetic “cheer song,” and the melody isn’t particularly difficult, so even people who aren’t confident singers shouldn’t find it too hard to sing.
That said, although it’s not obvious at first listen because of the vocalist’s tone, there are surprisingly high notes, so be careful with the key setting if you sing it at karaoke.
Also, it’s best to make a clear contrast between the falsetto parts in the B melody and the powerful sections in the chorus when you sing.
countrysideKoji Tamaki
This was Koji Tamaki’s 11th single, released in July 1996.
It was used as the theme song for the Fuji TV Thursday drama “Coach,” in which Tamaki himself appeared.
Speaking of Koji Tamaki, he’s strongly associated with the stylish image of his band, Anzen Chitai, so when this song came out, I remember being a bit surprised by how different it felt from that image.
As a song, it’s very upbeat, with an easy-to-remember melody that’s easy to sing, so even those who aren’t confident in their singing should definitely give it a try.
Most of the lines need to be sung quickly, so just be careful not to get your tongue twisted and not to fall behind the rhythm!
Cactus FlowerKazuo Zaitsu
It became a revival hit in 1993 as the theme song for the Fuji TV Monday 9 p.
m.
drama “Under One Roof,” written by Shinji Nojima and starring Yosuke Eguchi, which was a major success.
The melody has a somewhat nostalgic feel and an easy rhythm to sing.
Sing softly, as if speaking to someone.
“Maybe I’m tone-deaf...” Easy-to-sing karaoke songs even for people who aren’t good at singing (251–260)
Until the world endsWANDS
This is the eighth single by WANDS, a three-member rock band that epitomized Being-kei artists who dominated the J-POP scene in the 1990s.
After lineup changes and a breakup, they reunited in 2019.
The song was used as the ending theme for the TV anime SLAM DUNK, and its distinctive phrases and ear-catching melody are really catchy.
Because the melody is relaxed and doesn’t move much, it’s perfect for people who aren’t confident singers to practice with.
The pitch rises in the chorus, but if you adjust the karaoke machine to a key that suits you, you should be able to sing it without any trouble—so give it a try!
Sentimental Kiss (Acoustic ver.)Reira Shio
Singer-songwriter Leia Ushio, who has gained popularity for her down-to-earth lyrics.
Her impressively translucent vocal tone may make some people think her songs are hard to sing.
Of course, certain voice types suit her style better than others, but if your priority is simply to sing, it doesn’t matter.
This “Sentimental Kiss (Acoustic ver.
)” is an acoustic version, so the tempo is slow and the vocal range isn’t wide, making it easy for anyone to sing.
If you want to create the right mood, try deliberately avoiding diaphragmatic breathing and sing in a whisper using just your throat.
